Ah, the Regency era: meddling mothers, fancy frocks and too-tight trousers… Stories we know so well – but what happens when the writer loses the plot?Â
At the grand old age of nineteen, without prospects and title, Emma is facing a life of poverty. To avoid her future spinsterhood, she and her sisters hatch a plan to get wed quick. Enter boorish brothers, dashing suitors and a maid who might not be quite as she seems.
Infused with a rebellious spirit and plenty of charm, Jane Austen’s unfinished novel The Watsons is turned on its head by a dissatisfied playwright and characters longing to break free from tradition. Perfect for fans of Bridgerton and Pride & Prejudice* (*Sort Of), audiences can expect to be challenged and delighted this spring!
Suitable for ages 12+
